2019 Map of Buxton

About this map

Hatteras Island dominates this 2019 survey, illustrating the fragile geography of North Carolina’s Outer Banks between the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The map centers on the sharp southward turn of the coastline at Buxton, where the maritime forest of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore provides a buffer against the sea. To the north, the settlement of Avon is shown with its dense residential grid along roads like Big Kinnakeet Dr and Ocean View Dr, illustrating the contemporary coastal development pattern.
